Here’s How Nail Salons Can Deliver a Low-touch Experience
January 3, 2024
Here’s how nail salons can implement a low-touch experience before, during, and after an appointment to help protect their clients and staff.
Encourage clients to book online
The low-touch experience starts with the right nail salon software. With Booker and Messenger[ai] by Mindbody, you can minimize contact, protecting the health and safety of both your clients and staff. By enabling your clients to book their nail appointments via your website, Mindbody app, your branded app, or by texting Messenger[ai], you can treat your clients to a safe and seamless experience from the moment they book.
Paperless waivers for the win
Gone are the days of shared clipboards and tablets. Eliminate the need for unnecessary contact by using Booker to send paperless forms and waivers before a client’s nail appointment. That way, you’ll have all the info you need before their service.
Require virtual check-in
With virtual check-in, your clients can simply text when they’re approaching your business, eliminating the need for a waiting room. A simple text checks them in and notifies the assigned staff member of the client’s arrival. Once the service provider is ready, they can text the client back letting them know they’re ready for them.
Embrace contactless checkout
Once the nail appointment is over, your staff can use the business app on their personal devices to ring clients up for their services, allowing them to skip the front desk and enjoy a contactless checkout. An added bonus? With the business app, your staff can see retail purchases the client has made in the past, giving them ample opportunity to upsell during the checkout process.
Rebook after service
Rebooking with Booker is easy. With the business app, your staff can rebook clients the moment their nail appointment is over. Or if a client is in a rush to get out the door, Messenger[ai] automatically reaches out with a customizable, automated text message 30 minutes after the service to see if they want to book another nail appointment.
Having the right nail salon software is key to providing a low-touch experience at your business that keeps your community safe (and pampered).
